Not as good as Mama!

We've recently discovered that we can borrow Wii games at our library. One of the games that we have been renting is called Cooking Mama.
The whole idea of the game is that you are mama and that you have to prepare dinner which includes slicing vegetables, cracking eggs, and then cooking the food.
After you do one of those things "mama" gives a rating and if you did it good she will say, "Wonderful, better than mama!"
If you do OK she doesn't say anything but if you do horrible it sounds like she says something like "I help for you" (we're not really sure.)
The thing is she says them in a really annoying accent and she is saying it constantly.
Whenever mom and I are in the kitchen and we do something wrong while we're cooking we say,
"Not as good as mama."

My Musings

I finished The Importance of being Earnest yesterday, and it was a lot shorter than I thought it would be.
The book has a couple of short plays in it including, The Importance of being Earnest, Lady Windermere's fan, A Woman of no Importance, An Ideal Husband and Salomé all written between 1891 and 1895.
Now that I finished the book today after math, we get to watch Pride and Prejudice
Last night at Awanas it was store night so all the Bible verses that everyone has learned they get a point and if you had enough points than you can buy something.
I didn't have enough for anything but Ethan did and he had the choice of a really cool 3D wood spider that you can put together or popcorn.
He choose the wood spider and put it together last night when we got home and has been playing with it since, it actually is really cool.

12 Days Until Ethan's Birthday!

I just started the book The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. I watched the movie a couple of years ago with mom. It is confusing, but really funny.
I'm done writing the Declaration of Independence and now for history I have to memorize the Preamble which I already know the beginning of, "We the people of the United states of America, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility..."
Ethan is so excited about his birthday, everyday he has been telling everyone how many days are left until his birthday. Today when we went to Fred Meyer Ethan told mom that since we were there that she should do some birthday shopping in reply mom told him that she wasn't sure if dad has even said he could turn ten this year (every year they say we are not going to be able to turn how ever many that year but they always let us.)

Hooray!

I finally finished Pride and Prejudice!
Last time when I said that I had three chapters left I actually miscounted, I really had six left.
I also found two more words that mom didn't know!
1. missish- prim; affected; prudish or sentimental
2. arrear- the state of being behind or late, especially in the fulfillment of a duty, promise, obligation, or the like.
